The Holiness Convention held here
last week, closed on Friday evening.
The meetings were held in the NJ. f..
church, Rev. II. F. Reynolds pastor.
The house was well filled each evening
and quite good number attended the
day meetings. Rev. Mr.. Brengle, an
Evangelist, took the most prominent
part in the exercises. He was an elo-
quent, earnest speaker and held the at
tentiOn of large crowd, many of
whom seldom attend any church. He
was assisted by Rev. Mr.. Knapp of
Chelsea, Rev. Mr.. Taylor of Corinth,
and brother of the pastor, from Thet
ford. The doctrine of entire satisfac-
ton obtained in moment of time, by
a mere act of the will, was not popular
here and met with public protest by
members of the Methodist church and
others. 1t is hoped however, that
good may result from the many ear
nest, pointed and truthful utterances,
which all true christians were rejoiced
to hear, and that all the sinners in the
back part of the church may repent
and find true holiness.
